Jesus is the Reason for Every Season

With all the hustle and bustle this time of year, it’s easy to miss Christ with everything else going on. From buying presents last minute to finding a new place to put an elf, or planning every detail of your Christmas vacation, there are so many distractions that stand in our way from remembering why we’re celebrating in the first place - the birth of our King!

As Gracie and I have begun creating our own Christmas traditions for our growing family, I have been told that we’re robbing our kids of the magic of Christmas by not introducing them to Santa or Elf on the Shelf. But my counter to that is: “Isn’t Jesus enough?” Isn’t He the true star of the season?

But then, if I take a step even further back, I wonder, “Shouldn’t I be rejoicing in the incarnate Christ every day? Not just the Advent season?”

As cliché as it may sound, Jesus is the reason for the season, but I challenge you: what if we changed our mindset to Jesus being the reason for every season?

So this holiday season, amidst the craziness of life, let us remember and rejoice in the coming of our Lord Jesus as a humble baby, and let us continue to look forward expectantly as we await His second coming as victorious King!
